Ginger cookies

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 200 g butter, soft
• 120 g sugar, fine
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp ginger, freshly grated
• 200 g flour, sifted
• 150 g cornstarch, sieved
• 2 tbsp, heaped powdered sugar
• ½ tsp ground ginger

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 17 minutes; Total time approx. 47 minutes

Using a food processor, cream the softened butter, sugar, and salt until creamy. Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, and fresh ginger and continue mixing. Gradually add the flour and cornstarch and mix everything until a nice, smooth dough forms. Form small balls with your hands and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. The listed ingredients will yield about 80 cookies. Bake at 160°C for about 17 minutes. The cookies should retain their light color. Allow to cool on the baking sheet. While the cookies are warm, they are very fragile. Mix the icing sugar and ground ginger together well. If you like it stronger, you can also use more ginger powder. Carefully roll the completely cooled cookies in the mixture.
